'93 Dave Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 your going for looks i take it, as if our turning radius doesn't stink enough :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACES70 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Looks...big in rear. Performance...big in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlc Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 your going for looks i take it, as if our turning radius doesn't stink enough Yeah, M3 stance lol.Well, turning radius would sux more once I lower the 855, eagerly awaiting my B&G springs sched for delivery today or tomorrow (yeah I know, it's in my sig already, I always do that, lol). BTW, I do have HD and also installed R-sway barat the rear. Not a big deal one will say, until you realize the 855 didn't come stock with rear sway bar AT ALL.

exexpat Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 as if our turning radius doesn't stink enough How do slightly wider rear tires affect the turning radius? Why does this keep coming up?Try a welded diff if that is what you're perhaps referring to. Wait... a welded diff is performance goodness, no more one wheel peal! Right?

NW T5R Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 as if our turning radius doesn't stink enough As Jeremy stated there would be no issues with turning radius with that size of front tire. There would be handling and understeer issues when pushed hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow95 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I ran 215's front and 225's rear on the plat with no issues at all. I think a wagon MIGHT be able to take 235's.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Betty Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 i have 215/40 front and 225/45 rear, because when i bought the wheels they all came with 225/45 but the front rubbed so 215 it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivfader Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'd go for 215/45R17 front and 235/40R17 rear. They almost have the same diameter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a wagon MIGHT be able to take 235's.GaryOkay thanks for all your feedback guys.I decided to get 215/45/ZR17 for both ends. Figure it would be wise to be able to rotate the tires for managing wear.And Gary, the B&G sedan spring works just fine to my 855. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
